Zac Poonen · Apr 7, 2026 · 10m · CFC Daily Devotions

Zac Poonen explains the fundamental difference between God's work in the Old Testament versus the New Testament: in the Old Testament, God helped people externally from the outside, but could not change their hearts from within; in the New Testament, the Holy Spirit comes to live inside believers, providing inner power to overcome sin and live righteously. He uses examples like Peter's denial of Jesus and David's failures to illustrate how external help and human determination are insufficient—only the indwelling Holy Spirit gives believers the strength to resist temptation and live a life honoring God.
